last days of my month-Song trip to Guatemala found me self-reflective and grateful. I had rejoined the living after spending two days in bed, thanks to a terrible period of food poisoning that had me running from both ends. I spent 36-plus hours locked up in my hotel room in a cold sweat and grasping my st omach in pain. There may have been a bit of crying. There also may have been a few out-loud prayers to God begging him to make it stop and asking why I had been chosen to go through this. I should mention that I am not religious. I didn’t have a mobile phone and my hotel room was not equipped with a fixed line, so I had no way to get in contact with my mommy or my loving boyfriend so that I could share my suffering. Days later, I had recovered fully. While the bug （虫子） ran its course, I had to give some thanks to the staff at my hotel in Guatemala for being so sweet. They came to check on me on a couple of occasions once they realized I wouldn't/couldn't leave the room. They offered me tea and to call a doctor. I declined both offers but was moved by their kindness. I may get sick often when on the road, but I had to say that the worst thing ever is to get sick while traveling alone. If I am sick, only when people I know and care about are around does it make me feel better. It’s not even about them playing Florence Nightingale -sometimes, just having them there and being able to feel their presence is enough to make you feel stronger. 21.What is the best title for the text? A. Being ill while travelling B. The worst part of traveling alone C. Recovering from the illness D. Travelling alone while ill 22.Why did the author get sick? A. Because she had wrong medicine. B. Because she travelled too much. C. Because she got a stomachache. D. Because she had poisonous food. 23.What happened during my illness? A. I had no food. B. No one helped me. C. I suffered a lot. D. I was bitten by a bug. 24.What lesson did I get from the experience? A. Don't get sick while travelling or you can't travel with pleasure. B. Remember to have a mobile phone while travelling or you can't contact relatives. C. Don't travel alone or you will get sick and feel lonely. D. Be grateful for the presence of the people you know and care about. B Children are children after all, and most of them speak their mind. When they are just toddlers （幼儿）, no matter how naughty or rude they are, we think it is amusing to watch them speak like a grown-up. But as they grow, these same kids seem annoying and ill-mannered if they try to sound grown-up. Conflicts often appear between parents and children. Reasoning does not seem to work with them．It's hard to tell who are right and who are wrong. A child of 7-8 always finds some reasons to have a conflict with his parents. Whether it is about some toys, studies, basic affairs, parties or friends, there is always a difference in opinions between them. And it becomes worse when they answer you back. Psychologists say that children should be handled with care. Yes, sure they should be but not at the cost of disrespecting their elders. We are partly responsible for this situation. At an early age we encourage grown-up-like behaviour, just because we find it amusing. The kids on the other hand consider this same behavior as normal and get used to it. And when it is not funny for us any more, we expect them to stop it, but by then it is already too late. Only when they reach a certain maturity will the children

realize that answering back and being rude are not acceptable. Until then, most of the time their behavior is difficult to change, unless by force. And the use of force is again not a very good idea, as it weakens the child's confidence. Thus this brings us to the conclusion that it is one thing to bring a child into this world but quite another to make them into well mannered citizens. The best way is to be a good example ourselves, as our children are a reflection of us adults. 25.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. It is annoying to watch children speak like a grown-up. B. We should deal with children carefully according to psychologists. C. We are totally responsible for our kids’ impolite behaviour. D. Most of the time children’s behaviour is easy to change. 26.What's the main idea of the second paragraph? A. There are usually conflicts of opinions between parents and children. B. Children would like toys better than their parents. C. Children always look down upon their parents. D. It’s strange for children and parents to disagree with each other. Which of the following is part of the reason for the present situation of the children? A. Children always think their parents’ opinions are wrong. B. Parents often try to change their children by force. C. Parents give too much loose to children. D. Children are often asked to follow their parents. 28. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean? A. It is important that we teach children how to behave well and bring them into the world. B. It is important to bring a child into the world safe and sound. C. We should try to make a child follow the elders. D. We should train children to be good citizens with good manners.

However, do you know the real reason behind the phrase? Inner beauty is truly the real beauty, because external beauty fades with time. You might praise someone on how good he/she looks. But, what if that person turns out to be arrogant. What is the purpose of beauty then? Well to throw light upon the phrase, we have listed some reasons why inner beauty is the real beauty 1. Characteristics are important Sure, the look of a person is important but characteristics are equally important. It is not necessary that a good-looking person would turn out to be an honest one. Looks are always deceptive. So, judge a person by his/her traits, which is the real test of inner beauty. 2. Inner beauty is always admired When anyone talks to you, he/she would notice the manner in which you speak. If you speak softly, then the person would remember you as a beautiful person. Nobody will remember what you wore, or how you looked. So, inner beauty is the first test of true beauty. 3. Inner beauty is valuable A person can be beautiful with his or her actions and thoughts. If your thoughts are positive, it can be a motivating factor for others. It is your ideas that make you beautiful. Many women have complex related to looks but with good actions, you do not have to feel inferior. 4. Inner beauty is kindness Outer beauty will fade away, but inner beauty shall remain through your deeds. Kindness, love, empathy, generosity are all traits of inner beauty.

It’s a great honor to be here to have this interview for an English guide in the summer vacation. To begin with, as a senior high student, I am crazy about English and can speak it fluently. I’m used to practising speaking English in everyday life. For example, I often chat with some English net-pals in my spare time, which really contributes to my fluency in oral English. Besides, I’m open-minded, quick in thought and very fond of social practice,which I think is a quality that a good guide should have. Above all, as a native of the city, I know a lot about its history and culture. So I;m sure that the foreigners will appreciate my work and enjoy their stay in our city. If I’am given the chance to be a guide, I’ll spare no effort to do it well. In a word, I’m looking forward to it. Thank you.
